Based in Germany, Osmo products have shaped way, we think about wood finishing. Delivering durable paint which not only protects but enhances the natural beauty of the wood.
With our curved wood flooring, we recommend the OSMO Polyx Oil which we can show in hand samples of 8 beautiful curated colours. We can also do any other finish which suits your projects.
